Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear on GBA is a stripped-down but surprisingly tense take on the tactical shooter. You’re leading a counter-terrorism squad, planning breaches and picking off enemies with careful shots—no run-and-gun here. The controls are clunky (it’s the GBA, after all), but once you adjust, the slow, methodical pace actually works in its favor.

Missions feel like puzzles—you’ll restart a lot when your team gets wiped because you rushed a hallway. The AI isn’t brilliant, but they’ll flank you if you’re careless. It’s rough around the edges, but there’s something satisfying about nailing a perfect breach after three failed attempts. Just don’t expect the depth of the PC version.
